SECRET FLING WITH MICK JAGGER
BOTH PRINCESSES HAD A CRUSH ON THE ROCKSTAR
It’s etched into royal folklore that the Queen’s sister Princess Margaret may have shared a steamy fling with Mick Jagger. But an insider makes the sensational claim to New Idea that she wasn’t the only royal who was captivated by the charismatic Rolling Stones frontman – and suggests Princess Diana had her own crush on the now 77-year-old.
“She was quite flirty with Mick when their paths crossed after she split up from Prince Charles,” says a source. “Of course, Charles heard about it and absolutely hated it. He already had a healthy disdain for Mick after what he’d heard about Margaret, so the last thing he wanted was for his ex-wife to get cosy with him too.”
The source adds: “Diana denied anything happened with Mick. Maybe she was telling the truth, but Charles rarely believed a word she said – given both of their extra-marital affairs over the years.
“It didn’t do much for
Diana’s case that Charles suspected she had a thing for musicians and was already convinced she was sleeping with Eric Clapton,” the insider continues. “Word is, in Charles’ mind, Diana and Mick did hook up and no-one has been able to tell him otherwise.”
